listen, I’m willing to go to smaller instances if necessary, but for the same reason I signed up for mastodon.social - I want my local community to not be a desert, if at all possible.
I think he’s looking for something more similar to a multi reddit which as far as I can tell at the moment is not a thing here. A single page you can go to, to see posts from both montreal@lemmy.ml and montreal@lemmy.ca in one single feed.
really though, the UX here is not bad, there are some minor fixes needed but its already fairly close to reddit '00s (but a bit better) flow. I understand wanting your local instance to be busy entirely, but does it matter if it works just a bit more like reddit and you pop between servers and communities without ever thinking about it?

It looks on the main page, you can view posts across all communities on lemmy, regardless of which community you’re on, so that certainly helps.
But… If I’m on Lemmy.ml/c/Montreal , I can’t see the posts on lemmy.ca/c/Montreal Are we going to need one account for every Lemmy instance out there ?
You can see those posts. You can see the posts of any community as long as your server federates with their server.
No, you just need to subscribe to !montreal@lemmy.ca. “Unfortunately” they share the same name, but they are different communities.
Just search for
!montreal@lemmy.caon the search bar of your instance (lemmy.ml) and you’re good to go!I think he’s looking for something more similar to a multi reddit which as far as I can tell at the moment is not a thing here.
